Another scam grifter

And morally it is worse when religious based

In 2004, Without Walls International Church reported a congregation of 20,000, the largest congregation in the area and the seventh-largest church in the United States.[19] An audit later made public by a United States Senate committee chaired by Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley showed that Without Walls received $150 million from 2004 to 2006.[20] The Senate report found the church White operated with her now ex-husband spent tax-exempt ministry funds one year to pay nearly $900,000 for the couple's waterfront mansion, over a million dollars in salaries to family members and paid for the Whites' private jet. White and her church did not cooperate with the investigation. In 2011, Grassley issued a report outlining his committee's findings but took no additional action

Welcome to the swamp. Both sides have been doing this for decades so now we are upset that someone is shining a light on it?

Apologies, I'm confused by what you're asking:

Why did we wait 20 years put someone who scammed the government out of millions of dollars via her "church" in charge of a new (and frankly unnecessary) government office?

That can't be it

yup let's prop up a wasteful department to do (god knows what) for the chronically persecuted christian churches who pay so much money to the government.

did doge figure this out? or is it another project 2025 thing?

If a scam how come no criminal charges? Civil liability? penalties?

Not every scam is illegal - or at least easy to prosecute. Thousands of scammers of all sorts regularly go unpunished. That they either chose not to or were unable to bring charges does not suggest that there money was used as intended or in any sort of a morally licit way.

Thanks for clarifying
